Title:

Replace or repair the ice maker?

Text:

The ice maker stopped working. A new one is about $45 shipped over ebay. I notice it has a plastic ice tray rather than what seems to be the cast ice tray on OEM.

Should I find one with a metal tray? Should I try to repair mine which seems to be locked into place? Or should I make a hybrid of the two with a new motor and the old metal ice tray?

Thought and suggestions are appreciated.

Thanks
